This is a popular question, but it can only be answered by your auto insurance company once you have a policy. You can choose the option to pay your premium in equal monthly payments throughout the duration of the policy period, or as one lump sum at the beginning of the policy and each time it renews. If you choose to pay monthly, some insurers will require a down payment, or about 25% of the premium upfront. The remaining balance will be paid over the policy period.
How much will my insurance increase if I’m in an accident or get a ticket?
This is another question that can only be answered with specific numbers by your auto insurance company. Some auto insurance companies will forgive a driver’s first accident if that person has had a spotless record for a few years. Otherwise, an accident can cause a 20-40% of the base rate increase. This increase is given for a number of reasons; two of which are because now that driver has increased their level of risk with the auto insurance company and the higher the level of risk a driver has, the higher their premium is. Second, the increased premium goes towards the costs the insurer had to payout in the claim.
Traffic tickets also increase premium rates because they show the insurance company a lack of paying attention to law or blatant disregard for it. Both of these attitudes show a higher level of risk that the driver will make a future claim. Again, as to how much a traffic ticket will increase your rates is up to your insurer.
